Security and Insurance
OCALICON 2016 (“CONFERENCE”) is hosted and managed by the Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence (“OCALI”), a project under the governing board of the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio (“ESCCO”). OCALI provides CONFERENCE sponsorship, advertising, and exhibit space – at a cost – to an approved entity (“CONTRACTOR”). Sponsorship, advertising, and exhibit space will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis as determined by OCALI as Show Management (“SHOW MANAGEMENT”). Acceptance of CONTRACTOR is in no way to be construed or promoted as an endorsement by SHOW MANAGEMENT. SHOW MANAGEMENT makes no representation of warranties of any kind regarding the CONFERENCE, the number of attendees, merchantability, and/or fitness for CONTRACTOR purpose. Approval to sponsor, advertise, or exhibit at the CONFERENCE is contingent upon approval by SHOW MANAGEMENT under the guidance of the CONFERENCE Steering Committee (“STEERING COMMITTEE”). An approved CONTRACTOR must fulfill the spirit and intent of OCALI’s Options Policy and its emphasis on informed consumer choice. SHOW MANAGEMENT may restrict, prohibit, or evict any CONTRACTOR whose sponsorship, advertisement, or exhibit does not comply with the policies, rules, and regulations outlined in this agreement (“AGREEMENT”) and associated with the CONFERENCE – including, but not limited to those published on the CONFERENCE website ("WEBSITE"); those published in the Exhibit Services Manual (“MANUAL”); is misleading or deceptive; is in poor taste or unsuitable to sponsor, advertise, or exhibit; or whose products, publications, or materials may detract from the general character of the CONFERENCE. In such an instance, CONTRACTOR shall cease and desist such action or forfeit the sponsorship, advertisement, or exhibit space, if appropriate, and dismantle, remove and vacate the premises as requested or ordered by SHOW MANAGEMENT.
The MANUAL will be sent to CONTRACTOR no later than Friday, July 15, 2016. The MANUAL will include, but is not limited to: shipping instructions to advance warehouse, materials handling information, additional CONTRACTOR rules and regulations, move-in/move-out schedules and service agreement forms for the rental or purchase of equipment, furniture, audio/visual equipment, utilities, or Internet access for the Exhibit Hall. CONTRACTOR is required to use designated CONFERENCE general service contractors (“GSC”) for services and/or equipment. CONTRACTOR is solely responsible for all arrangements and payment(s) corresponding to services or products included in the MANUAL. SHOW MANAGEMENT assumes no responsibility or liability for the performance, delivery, or suitability of any services or products purchased, rented, and/or secured through the MANUAL.
Twenty-four (24) hour peripheral security will be provided starting Tuesday, November 15, 2016, and continuing through the end of the Exhibit Exhibit Hall on Thursday, November 17, 2016. Security personnel will be on duty during move-in, Tuesday, November 15, overnight Wednesday, November 16, and during dismantling of the Exhibit Exhibit Hall on Thursday, November 17. SHOW MANAGEMENT expressly disavows any responsibility for the protection of CONTRACTOR’S booth materials or display prior to, during, or after the CONFERENCE, and CONTRACTOR hereby releases SHOW MANAGEMENT from any and all claims, losses, damages, and expenses arising out of any losses to any thereof. CONTRACTOR shall utilize lock boxes and/or arrange for its own security in its booth, as appropriate, at its own expense. CONTRACTOR shall be able to provide a certificate of insurance to cover exhibit material(s) against damage or loss and public liability insurance against injury to the person and property of others. CONTRACTOR shall certify, at its own expense, the provision of insurance for the protection of CONTRACTOR’S property against fire, theft, vandalism, or destruction by any cause. SHOW MANAGEMENT assumes no risk or responsibility by the acceptance of this AGREEMENT. CONTRACTOR expressly releases SHOW MANAGEMENT from any and all liability for any damage, injury, or loss to any person or goods which may arise from the rental/occupation of exhibit booth and/or participation in CONFERENCE.
AGREEMENT Acceptance Acceptance of CONTRACTOR is at sole and absolute discretion of SHOW MANAGEMENT under the guidance of the STEERING COMMITTEE. An application to sponsor, advertise, or exhibit is not considered accepted until applicant is notified in writing by SHOW MANAGEMENT of the acceptance. Upon receipt, SHOW MANAGEMENT will review application – including requested sponsorship, advertising, or exhibit package, exhibit booth number, – and assign and/or reserve sponsorship, advertising, and exhibit booth (if applicable). A 50% deposit is required within thirty (30) days of submission of completed AGREEMENT. Failure to provide 50% deposit may result in the termination of this AGREEMENT and the reassignment of sponsorship, advertisement, and/or booth space (if applicable) to another entity. Payment in full or 100% deposit is required of CONTRACTOR after Wednesday, August 31, 2016. CONTRACTOR will not be permitted to erect a display until space rental is paid in full. Checks should be made out to ESC of Central Ohio. All accepted applications are subject to the regulations, terms, and conditions contained within this AGREEMENT, WEBSITE, MANUAL, and/or set forth by the Greater Columbus Convention Center (“GCCC”). SHOW MANAGEMENT reserves the right to terminate this AGREEMENT with written notice if CONTRACTOR breaches any of the regulations, terms, or conditions contained herein and in the WEBSITE or MANUAL, including failure to make payment when due under the terms of this AGREEMENT.
Representation CONTRACTOR will name one (1) individual to act as its authorized representative throughout the duration of this AGREEMENT.
